As a test, I scp'd over all the volumes for one job and timed it:

real    167m15.956s
user    117m51.006s
sys     23m56.653s

FWIW, these copies were done while a ZFS scrub was underway, so if anything, the potential throughput is higher.

The job above, took nearly 11 hours.  Something is up.

I tried another test run, just now, but cancelled it after the first two Volumes were read; it was going at about the same rate as the full job mentioned above.

What might account for this vast difference?

You could try profiling it, e.g http://www.brendangregg.com/FlameGraphs/cpuflamegraphs.html#DTrace

This is a great idea.  Have you done this before?  I haven't and my first attempt seems to be interesting.


It didn't run very long, and thus I'm not sure how relevant the information is
